Maxivision 15-in-1

It was a rewarding Nintendo hunt this weekend! It's most exciting when I'm able to find these treasures without the help of Ebay. When I saw the ad on Craigslist I was amazed that this game was being sold. I sent the seller my offer of $10, almost $30 less than what it usually sells for on Ebay. The seller agreed and I was pleasantly surprised to find out it came 
IN THE CASE, WITH THE INSTRUCTION BOOKLET AND NEAR MINT CONDITION. 
Fuck Yeah!
That's about $200 off the price it usually auctions off in this condition. This game was the last multicart game published by AVE (American Video Entertainment), American Game Cartridges and Colordreams in 1992. The 15 games included are:
  1. F-15 City War
  2. Puzzle
  3. Pyramid
  4. Tiles of Fate
  5. Krazy Kreatures
  6. Double Strike
  7. Dudes with Attitude
  8. Venice Beach Volleyball
  9. Stakk'm
  10. Deathbots
  11. Rad Racket Deluxe Tennis II
  12. Chiller
  13. Solitaire
  14. Menace Beach
  15. Shock Wave
Shit, this wasn't my only lucky C.List find, I also was able to purchase the first issue of Nintendo Power magazine in ok condition along with 3 others plus the "NES Game Atlas" all for a whopping 5 bucks! 
I stopped at a local game shop I rarely frequent,  and I was able to pick up Bionic Commando and The Battle of Olympus complete in the box at $6 each. That's the shit huh?

Shitty Game Review

This review is on the shittiest educational game made for the Nintendo NES. No, it's not Bible Adventures. And it's not Sesame Street ABC-123 either. Ladies and Gentlemen, presenting:
Where in Time is Carmen SanDiego

Being somewhat of a fan of the PC classic "Where in the World is Carmen SanDiego," I was interested in checking this game out. In this game you are assigned a percolating time machine called the "Acme Chronoskimmer" (how nifty is that?) and you travel through history trying to solve cases. Catch is, you only get 39 hours, which go by super fast on this lame wild goose chase. I didn't solve any cases, I suck I know, but I did get close to a couple of 8-bit villains that look like stubby turds with hats.
I think I'd rather play Bubble Bath Babes.
